The Hell Gates (in Japanese: 地獄門, Jigokumon), also called "Hellgates" and "Hell-Gates", are tall, black monolithic structures that served as portals between the Human World and the Demon World and they play a major role in Devil May Cry 4. They are one of the primary methods of transportation between the realms, alongside the Temen-ni-gru and direct summoning. Fortuna's skyscraper-sized Hell Gate is considered to be the most important and possibly the largest.
